The rangers picked up one accomplice. He said that the first man had probably been trampled by the herd. The other suspect is still on the run. This man is said to have been injured in the eye.

It is not the first time that a poacher has been killed at the hands of an elephant. In 2019 an elephant got hold of a poacher, after which the man fell prey to lions. Only his remains were later found.
